  • Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds or use an alcohol-based hand sanitiser. This is particularly important after taking public transport. 
  • Use an alcohol-based hand sanitiser that contains at least 60% alcohol if soap and water are not available. 
  • Cover your cough or sneeze with a tissue, then throw the tissue in a bin. You can download a ’Catch it, Bin it, Kill it’ poster (PDF, 940KB) for your workplace from the NHS. 
  • Clean and disinfect frequently touched objects and surfaces in the home and work environment. 
  • Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth with unwashed hands.
